‘Samhain Circus’ freak show
On Halloween, things get a bit darker, weirder and more mysterious under the dome.
The Pepe Dome is transformed into a circus ring that blends elements of a circus, a freak show and a dark funfair atmosphere. Extraordinary acrobatics meet bizarre characters, surprising visuals and moments where you’re not always immediately sure whether to be amazed, laugh or perhaps turn away.
‘Samhain Circus’ plays on the unique atmosphere of Halloween: mysterious, wild and with a touch of humour. This isn’t a traditional horror show, but an unusual circus afternoon full of movement, excitement and surprises.
What exactly can you expect? We’re not giving that away just yet. Suffice to say: on this day, some things at the Dome are not quite what they seem at first glance.
Come along and experience Halloween under the dome.
